19 Weeks and 5 Days...

...is how far along I am as of the print out from the Ultrasound Tech today. I had my routine anatomy scan of the baby today. Matty and Tony accompanied me so they could see the miracle of life doing back flips inside me. All is well and good- the heartbeat, the weight, major organs look great. The kidneys were measured and looked to be the appropriate size so there are no signs of hydronephrosis at this time, which is a relief. There is a 30-50% chance of this baby having the same issues as Matthew had and so far no signs. Matthew showed signs when I was 16 weeks along so this is very good news. My placenta is in a low-lying position, although they said it would be premature to call it "previa" but I will have a subsequent ultasound in 8 weeks to make sure the placenta is progressing its way higher in my uterus. I see Dr S next Wednesday so I'm sure we will have a more in depth discussion about this at that time.

I'm feeling pretty good these days. I still have days where I get nauseous and earlier this week, I was sick all day. I should be past all that, but then again I am still changing diapers so that may have a little something to do with it. I get tired but that is to be expected. No one told me that the Braxton Hicks would be more intense this time around. Wow! Talk about an attention getter. On Wednesday, I was at my mom's and had some major contractions and this evening as well. I wouldn't go so far as to say they were painful but they did get my attention for sure.
